They come in a gold casing much like the YSL quints. I hate this casing though because it scuffs easily and is a fingerprint magnet

The shadows can be used wet or dry. In the dry form, the shadows give a soft shimmery look. When used wet, they give intense color with metallic sheen.
The palettes come with a special rubber applicator for using the shadows wet.
I haven't quite mastered using it and for now I'm going to stick with using a brush.

These shadows are nice when dry but just absolutely gorgeous when wet. The color combinations are also interesting and I'm looking forward to playing with these a lot more.

I like how this palette has contrasting colors but YSL has disappointed me in the past so I'm hestitant on picking another one of their eyeshadows. They need to improve their packaging!
You picked out the two I was thinking to get! Thanks for the swatches! x
Great post! The swatches are gorgeous!!!
@Tracey I totally agree about the packaging! Although I think these shadows are better than the other ysl shadows I've tried in the past
@poseylass @DSK Steph Glad you liked the swatches :)
The colors are gorgeous when wet!!! The purple and green are my faves. Now post an FOTD!!!
